My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 68

Lila’s POV

How was I ever going to face him again after that?

I couldn’t believe that happened.

To top it off, we almost got caught by my father. My heart was racing at an incredible speed while I was hiding under that bed. I just kept praying to the moon goddess that he didn’t know I was there.

It didn’t seem like he knew; as far as my father was concerned, I was sleeping soundly in my bed.

Once he left, I felt like I could finally breathe, but one look at Enzo’s face and then the realization of what we had just done sat between us.

I couldn’t even look him in the eyes. I had to focus my attention on the ground, or I would explode out of my skin.

I was incredibly embarrassed and I’m sure he could tell from my face that I just wanted to forget about this whole thing.

I didn’t need to say it, but I did anyways.

As I left, I could feel his eyes on the back of my head; he didn’t say anything in return and that was probably for the better.

He waited a few moments before going downstairs and joining the rest of us in the kitchen. My parent’s seemed particularly pleased to see him and the twins were motioning for him to sit beside them at the dinner table.

I was glad to see Brianna and Donovan were also over along with Aiden.

“Lila!” Bri cried as she quickly ran over to me, wrapping her arms around my body and hugging me tightly. “I was so worried when I saw the news. How could you not call me?”

“I’m sorry…” I told her, hugging her back. “A lot has happened, and I didn’t really think about calling anybody. I just wanted to come home.”

“We are glad you are okay, kid,” Aiden said with a bright smile. “And we are glad that you are home.”

I gave them a small smile in return and sat down in my usual spot next to Brianna. Dinner smelled incredible per usual and I knew my mother was the one who cooked. I loved her cooking and she always made way too much food.

“I hope you enjoy the food I made,” my mother said, staring at everybody around the table.

I mainly ate in silence, not really feeling up for a conversation. I was still so incredibly embarrassed about what Enzo, and I had just done.

I never even kissed a guy before Enzo and now I allowed him to do that?

What was I thinking?

“You were thinking you wanted our mate in every way possible,” Val chuckled. “You can’t deny how good it felt.”

She was right; it felt incredible.

I couldn’t believe I had gone into heat. That has never happened to me before, but then again, it was a wolf thing and I had only just gotten my wolf.

Was this going to happen to me all the time?

I really hoped not.

I couldn’t help but glance over at Enzo who wasn’t looking at me; that brought me some sense of relief.

It probably meant nothing to him, and he would soon forget about it anyways. He ate his food silently as well, not looking at anybody.

“Lila?” My mother said from across the table; she was staring at me with concern in her eyes and I gave her a fond smile in return.

“Yes?”
